By registering for this class, you are agreeing to the NNLM Code of Conduct

Disasters disproportionately impact vulnerable populations, and vulnerable communities are likelier to experience secondary disasters such as economic downturns and excess mortality. The purpose of this study was to determine if the area impacted by Hurricane Michael (2018) experienced excess mortality and what were the root causes of those changes in health.
